So Bellew wins in the 11th round after Haye's team throws in the towel.
For those who didnt watch it, it was quite an extraordinary match. Haye looked wild with his punches in the first few rounds, but was leading on points to the 5th/6th round then unexpectedly fell down (or slipped) walking back mid-round, his ankle looked like it was shot out. He was struggling to stand and Bellew landed more and more punches, Haye was struggling to offer any resistance. Next few rounds was the same, but Bellew couldn't land the fatal punch, he was getting tired. It was one way traffic. Last 3 rounds Haye actually started to land a few jabs and punches, thought Bellew still in control.
In the 11th round, Bellew knocked him down in between the ropes (not the strongest punch mind you). Haye actually got back in at the count of 9, but his team threw in the towel.
Bit of a weird ending and they are respectful of each other at the end, but got a bit too lovey-dovey. Credit to Haye for managing to fight on, especially after "Toegate". It did look like a legit injury. Not sure what was more crazy - him fighting on for or Bellew unable to knockout a man basically using one leg. His punches did land, just not enough force.
